Architecture Meets Fashion: Brutalism on the Runway 🏛️👗
What connects massive concrete buildings and the world’s biggest fashion houses?
The answer is Brutalism — a raw, unapologetic architectural movement born in the 1950s. It’s known for its rough concrete textures, geometric shapes, and heavy volumes. But Brutalism didn’t stay in architecture — it quietly made its way onto the runway.
This crossover challenges the idea that fashion must always be light or flattering. Sometimes, it’s bold, heavy, and architectural — like the concrete giants you see in Berlin, London, or Belgrade.

Designers like Rick Owens and Balenciaga transform Brutalist ideas into fashion. Oversized shoulders, sculptural silhouettes, thick fabrics, and monochrome palettes turn the human body into a walking structure. These looks are often described as "wearable architecture."

Design Trend Explained: Anti-Design 🔄🎨
Sometimes bad design… is actually good design. Meet Anti-Design, the movement that breaks every rule on purpose.
Why does it work?
The secret? Breaking rules… but knowing them first.

Sometimes bad design… is actually good design. Meet Anti-Design, the movement that breaks every rule on purpose.
Born in the 60s as a protest against “perfect” design, Anti-Design celebrates chaos — clashing colors, stretched text, weird layouts, low-res images. You’ve probably seen it on posters, websites, even album covers.
Why does it work?
Because it grabs your attention, challenges your expectations, and feels alive. In a world where everything looks polished and minimal, Anti-Design stands out by being deliberately wrong.
Of course, it’s easy to go too far. Bad design stays bad if it’s not intentional.
The secret? Breaking rules… but knowing them first.
